unwillingness

“I think the problem rests with our society's unwillingness to contemplate the darker side of the human soul and the type of conflict it generates. We act as if pretending that it's not there, despite plenty of proof to the contrary, can somehow make it go away. We refuse to admit that the issue exists, as if that made us safer; instead, that makes us unable to switch gears to handle it if the need arises.” - God’s Bastard,

Comment: Yin-yang, the ancient Chinese conept and teaching of the great tai chi, the duality of nature and the universe itself. It represents the duality of everything such as dark-light, hard-soft, good-bad and so on. If there is good in life then there is bad, bad is often associated closely with conflict, violence and violent conflict. We can try to condition ourselves to resist violent behavior but first we must understand it. To socially mandate conditions without proper knowledge, experience and understanding only makes it worse. Humans often naturally and instinctively react violently when they don’t have the proper tools to cope.
